(SSD011)

Sorry I am so late in getting this post up today . . . but I am sure you will all let me off the hook -- I mean, after all, it is my birthday! I wish I could say the reason is because I slept in, or was finishing some AMAZING novel, but really, it was because I was getting kids ready for school, writing apology notes with a child to teach a lesson to them, reading a book, and getting babies ready for naps, searching frantically for my cord for my camera to upload. BUSY household this morning - but I am so thankful for all the fun I get to have with my cute family! I'm 31 today . . . YUCK!

Today's sketch was a fun, happy, easy one for me. I had stampers block all day yesterday and just could not produce ANYTHING, and then this card came to me late last night! I fudged a bit on the bottom, not completely enclosing my sentiment box inside the box with all the shoes, purses, etc, but it just looked happier that way! Hope you like how it turned out.

Go try this sketch, I know you will love it!!! Be sure to check out what the other DT girls have made (links on the sidebar to the right --->)

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
